Zhao Lijian, a foreign ministry spokesman, said: 'The rocket is designed with special technology most of the components will burn up and be destroyed during the re-entry process, and the probability of causing harm to aviation activities and on the ground is extremely low.' The rocket measured 17.8 meters and had a diameter of 4.2 meters at the time of lift-off. 'If your latitude is higher than that of France or Portland, Oregon, you're probably in the clear.' It is expected to land in the Indian Ocean without risk to the population.Ĭanadian Astronomer Erika tweeted: 'The uncertainty of where the large debris will ultimately land presents a level of risk to human safety and property damage that is well above commonly accepted thresholds. The new path of the debris shows that it will fly over some parts of Europe and is expected to fall back down to Earth today before 12.30pm. The module, which is expected to largely disintegrate in the atmosphere, will fly over Spain and the Iberian Peninsula twice on Friday morning, according to the European body in charge of space surveillance.
